There are no manufacturer's marks, but this a New hall coffee can and saucer,
pattern number 153 and dating to c1787-90.
The coffee can is in perfect condition with no chips, cracks repairs or
restoration. the gilding is all in good order.
The saucer does have two very fine hairline cracks in the rim, as shown in
the two pictures far bottom of this page. these are fine and tight, so do not
adversely affect the saucer. There are also two areas of darker blue on the rim,
one of these is a small chip that has been painted in, the other just a blemish.
As well as these there is an extremely tiny and insignificant rim chip shown in
the picture below on the right.
Despite the imperfections to the sauce, this is a delightful New Hall Coffee
can and saucer for the collector of New Hall or early English porcelain.
